Lateral variation of Lg wave propagation in southern Mexico

Abstract: [1] In this study we investigated lateral variation of Lg wave propagation in southern Mexico from recordings of 92 crustal earthquakes along 591 travel paths. The efficiency of Lg propagation was measured in terms of Lg to Pn spectral ratio. It was found that Lg propagation is inefficient for travel paths through the Gulf of Mexico coastal plains and the Gulf of Tehuantepec, areas with thick layers of sediments. An average Lg quality factor, Q Lg , as a function of frequency for southern Mexico was estimated … Show more

“…The subsurface structure is based on the V p and the density (q) structure derived by refraction experiments and gravity data (Valdes et al, 1986;Valdes and-Meyer, 1996), the V s structure estimated from the surface wave (Campillo et al, 1996;Shapiro et al, 1997), the quality factor (Q) from spectral attenuation of S and Lg waves (Castro et al, 1994; Ottemöller et al, 2002), and the depth of subducted plate from hypocentral data (Pardo and Suárez, 1995;Kostoglodov et al, 1996). The shape of Moho is derived from the surface topography by assuming 80% isostatic compensation and that the Moho surface is smooth.…”

“…En este trabajo se parte del análisis de una trayectoria en específico para tres eventos, lo que implica una menor dispersión de residuos (ecuación 10), en lugar de combinar las dos direcciones norte-sur y este-oeste (terreno en dirección a la costa), puesto que en otros estudios este segundo análisis ha mostrado diferencias, en el nivel de atenuación, para cada trayectoria (e.g., Valdés et al, 1987;Gutiérrez y Singh, 1988;Singh et al, 1988;Cárdenas et al, 1994Cárdenas et al, , 1998Ottemöller et al, 2002;Cárdenas-Soto y Chávez-García, 2003;García et al, 2009). …”

“…Considerando los datos de partida en cada una de las relaciones de atenuación, resulta lógico pensar que la de García (2006) presente curvas con un decaimiento más rápido de la pendiente al final de la curva de atenuación (ver figura 12a, principalmente después de la curva que representa la magnitud Mw = 6.0), resultado de la combinación de datos de diversas trayectorias para las múltiples regresiones realizadas, dado que las trayectorias con dirección paralela a la costa presentan una mayor atenuación que para las trayectorias tierra adentro (e.g., Valdés et al, 1987;Gutiérrez y Singh, 1988;Singh et al, 1988;Cárdenas et al, 1994Cárdenas et al, , 1998Ottemöller et al, 2002;Cárdenas-Soto y Chávez-García, 2003;García et al, 2009). …”
